Corrientes was one of the few Argentine provinces that persistently issued its own paper currency well into the mid-nineteenth century, operating in effective financial isolation from Buenos Aires for extended periods. This 1841 emission predates the Confederación's attempts to impose monetary order and reflects the province's insistence on managing its own fiscal affairs during the turbulent Rosas years — when the interior provinces alternately aligned with and resisted porteño dominance.

Provincial paper from this period was notoriously short-lived in circulation, degrading rapidly in the subtropical Litoral climate. Survivors in any condition are genuinely uncommon.
